Installation/Configuration

1. Step one
2. Step two
3. Step three

Sample Code

require 'rubygems'
require 'usb'

end

puts "puts works"
puts " with line breaks."

print "print works"
print " with no line breaks."

printf("\n\nprintf formats numbers like %7.2f, and
strings like %s.",3.14156,"me")

(Random code I lifted from somewhere that's not Kinect related just to show how this page should look)
